Many others have the same sort of feeling.
See http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=26436,
which has a patch to make it optional.
I wonder if Packages.txt should have guidance about packages where
free software (meaning no ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+= is needed) can depend
on non-free software. I'd say unless the free software would be
useless or nearly so, including non-free stuff should be optional with
a preferences define.
